Sandro Chignola

Sandro Chignola (Verona, 1961) is a philosopher. He directs research projects at the University of Padua, where he works as a professor of political philosophy. He is a visiting professor at several universities around the world, currently at the National University of San Martín, in Buenos Aires. His research falls within the methodological field of the so-called post-workerism, particularly in the historicity of the concepts of modern political philosophy. In this line of inquiry, his books stand out Fragile cristallo (Editoriale Scientifica, 2004) and History of concepts and political philosophy (Biblioteca Nueva, 2009) written together with Giuseppe Duso. In recent years, he devoted himself to the study of the work of Michel Foucault and to the elaboration of a register capable of conceptualizing and strengthening the crisis of the classical figures of the modern political subject, and to illuminate the radicality of the new political subjectivities that emerge among the subjection technologies and contemporary subjectivation practices, between goberance and exoduses of all kinds.
